Dennis Lundberg created MNG-6967: ------------------------------------ Summary: Improve the command line output from maven-artifact Key: MNG-6967 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6967 Project: Maven Issue Type: Improvement Components: Artifacts and Repositories Affects Versions: 3.6.3 Reporter: Dennis Lundberg
As is documented here https://maven.apache.org/pom.html#version-order-testing you can use the maven-artifact JAR file to test version numbers and their relative order. Unfortunately the output does not match what is used in https://maven.apache.org/pom.html#version-order-specification when describing the "Trimming Examples". It's matter of "==" versus "->". I prefer the one used in the documentation, so I'd like to change maven-artifact to use "->". It respresents a transformation (trimming in this case) - not a an equality test. Another problem is that it does not show you the list of tokens that are the result of parsing the version numbers. This can be quite useful when trying to figure out why you are getting the results you are. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
